Prediction Thread

Hi. I know there's various threads asking for predictions, but well I thought it would be an idea if we got everybody's predictions in one go. It was done in the official thread last year, and we can all have a good chuckle at those who get it horribly wrong ie probably this blinded optimist right here. The rose tinted glasses are firmly attached to my head and will be as long as those Ashes are ours.

Score: 2-2
Top Runscorer: Strauss
Top Wicket Taker: Warne
Most catches (wk excluded): Bell
Biggest surprise: Mahmood
Biggest disappointment: McGrath
Man of the series: Flintoff
Amount of Guinness to be drank upon completion of the series by GIMH: unquantified

Just thought I may as well add some general predictions. Am tipping Panesar for a big series, Hussey will go well but not superman well, neither Warne nor Flintoff will relive their past efforts, but they'll still put in the odd super performance
